The last two races are run on the Polytrack and the vote in the first of them goes to WEST LEAKE, who won over course and distance in February and has held his own off higher marks since. Mafi should be thereabouts again but may be a few pounds too high at present while Mister Green carries a penalty for a recent win at Kempton. Piccolo Mondo is potentially well treated but keeps finding one too good and Homeward Strut is also struggling to get his head in front, though should reverse recent form with Midnight Feats. Uncle Fred didn't run badly on his return at Kempton and may best of the rest.
